Become a Volunteer Lay Chaplain

Volunteer Lay Chaplains are trained to offer prayer, encouragement, and compassionate spiritual care in hospitals and healthcare settings. This ministry is for those who feel called to be present with others during moments of illness, uncertainty, grief, hope, and healing.

Volunteer Lay Chaplains may serve by:

Visiting patients and family members
Offering prayer and spiritual encouragement
Providing a calm and compassionate presence
Supporting hospital staff through spiritual care partnership
Participating in training, shadowing, and continuing education

Volunteer for Events and Activities

Not everyone is called to bedside visitation, but many are called to support the mission through hospitality, planning, outreach, and special events. Event and activity volunteers help strengthen the ministry by serving behind the scenes and alongside the community.

Event and activity volunteers may help with:

Fundraising events
Community outreach activities
Training day support
Hospitality and registration
Setup, cleanup, and logistics
Special ministry projects

Sign up if you would like to support events, outreach, and ministry activities.
